POMPANO BEACH, Florida (WSVN) - There was an incident at the Pompano Beach Airpark.
According to Pompano Beach Fire Rescue, the aircraft landing gear collapsed after landing at Pompano Beach Airpark, Monday afternoon.
Officials said the gear failed as the plane was taxiing to the hangar, causing it to collapse onto its belly.
7Skyforce HD hovered over the aircraft surrounded by Broward Sheriff’s Office cruisers.
No fuel leaked out, and no one was injured.
Both gears folded taxiing? Someone bumped the gear lever.
